Impressionist Gladioli Floral Oil Painting, Europe, 19th Century

This European Impressionist floral oil painting depicts tall stems of gladioli in ivory, dusty rose and deep burgundy against a softly brushed blue-green ground. Catalogued as a 19th-century work, its loose brushwork and layered petals give the slender composition a graceful sense of movement. A substantial gilded wood frame with leaf ornament, ribbed detailing and warm reddish-brown accents lends depth to the delicate floral study.
